Subject: Blocking and allowing ActiveX

Hello all,

In my company the policy is to disallow ActiveX on the internet segment
in
Internet Explorer. However, we find that lots of the sites that users go
to,
need ActiveX enabled. So, these sites are entered in the Trusted Zone in
IE.
Since we do not use Windows 2K on our domian controllers and we don't
have
ADS, it seems we can't use the Group Policy mechanism to add sites to
the
trusted zone, our helpdesk has to manually add a site to the trusted
zone on
a workstation. We have some 2500 PC's... so, there you have our problem.

What's your policy on ActiveX and how do you solve, or advise us to
solve,
the trusted site issue?

groetjes,

André Koot
